Fractal forms repeat on different scales. They possess a unique character depending on where and how you look at them. This collection of ten fractals of sound make up a bigger set entitled Fractal Tales 2. This is, in turn, part of something much bigger: a fractal nature! Released by Glitchy.Tonic.Records. Artwork done by Dmitry Shahov. Mastered at Anti-Logic, Berlin.

Whalimbus, compiled by Padawan, is the 67th release in the expansive Glitchy.Tonic.Records discography. On the menu this time: from chunky to funky, from quirky to foresty, this release has got what it takes to serve up night-time dark and alternative progressive trance par excellence. Glitched-out rhythmic miracles, deep sound oceans, and undeniable drive from shell to core. Artwork done by David Julian Lopez. Mastered at Anti-Logic, Berlin.

deMerger is release #60 from Glitchy.Tonic and a sequel to Merger, the latest album from label boss Radioactive.Cake, which consisted of remixes only. This release keeps the vibe and the heaviness of the last album but gets a little wilder at times and offers more “original” material from the man himself plus a remix of Fagin’s Reject, one of his dearest fellow producers. This comes with with a lot of drive and rhythm and is a great “dance force”. Artwork done by Aerozopher. Mastered at Anti-Logic, Berlin.

Radioactive.Cake returns with his timely fourth album, Merger, released on Glitchy.Tonic.Records. This time around he has remixed some of his favourite tracks by some of his favourite artists, tearing apart the originals and reassembling them in his own idiosyncratic style of edgy progressive psytrance. Remixing, as an artform, is about transformation, interpreting music in a new light from a different perspective, but it it also a way of paying respect. In the words of the artist: “this is my kind of tribute to those who paved the way and also to those who try to go further and build upon it.” Artwork by Yaroslavers. Mastered at Anti-Logic, Berlin.
